Dave S Anyone wandering into Let the Sunshine In expecting some sort of American-like kind of romance is going to be bitterly disappointed. Directed and co-written by the French master Claire Denis, it is the sobering and unsettling story of a middle-aged woman (Juliette Binoche) in the middle of a crisis. In need of love, or at least a meaningful embrace, she embarks on a seemingly futile search for a man she can share her life with, all leading to an unusual but surprisingly impactful final scene. Binoche, as always, is flawless and Denis' direction is subtle but impactful. Let the Sunshine in is what good cinema should be – intelligent examinations of interesting characters that leaves a lasting impact.

And Binoche so vulgar Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Primeiro filme que assisto de Claire Denis, e faltou conexão, empatia pela personagem perdida nos amores não obtidos, amo Juliette, belíssima, mas não consegui me encantar pelo roteiro, nem pelos personagens, pareciam vazias, numa vã tentativa de profundidade, esbarrando no terreno raso da superficialidade, mas darei mais tentativas, pois sei que me apaixonarei pelas obras de Claire... Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE IT IS A TRAP *contains spoilers* You see the picture of Juliette Binoche looking all carefree and you think something good is going to happen but no, she just messes around with a lot of men and is messed around by a lot of men, nobody learns anything, and then Gerard Depardieu is there at the end for some reason. If this movie was made when Roland Barthes wrote the story, sure, maybe it would have been fresh. But it belongs in the past. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review david f A contemporary romantic drama on a very small scale. It's human and relatable. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review dave d Juliette Binoche is fantastic in a dreadful film. So this is the story of a girl who cried a river and drowned the whole world. There is nothing compelling here and after this hubby and wife date morning film we were both left scratching our heads as to how this got on our list of movies to watch. It's depressing and there's nobody to root for. French films are different. Claire Denis co-wrote and directed a movie that needs to explain every detail of what is going on and then just in case you missed it it will explain it again, yet somehow one can come away confused. Do yourself a favor, don't watch or turn it off after you see Binoche naked in the opening scene. Wife: 5.4/Hubby 5.0 Average Final Score: 5.2/10 Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
